AYSO PLAYGROUND is a Parent/Child participation program. The object of this program is to help develop, in collaboration with parents, the child’s fundamental motor skills and to introduce basic soccer skills.

Having you participatewith us provides a role model for your child and allows them the one on one attention they need while they are trying to master “new” feats…..We will help you every step of the way.

Many activities do not look like traditional soccer: developing basic skills like, balancing, hopping, throwing, jumping and so on play a valuable role in the long-term development of soccer skills. In order to keep your players attention we move quickly from one activity (game) to the next….This is another reason we need 1:1 parents/adult participation.

Players will learn the following skills:

In addition, your child will:

Respecting opponents (Good Sportsmanship)

Dribbling, Shooting, & Scoring

Stop the other team from scoring

Following a few basic rules of the game

Kickoff's

Ball in & out of play

Have FUN playing the game of soccer

Each week with the help of a Master Coach and the Parents (or other adult), the players will learn a new skill and
get to play games related to the weekly skill. After a quick break, the players will show you what they've learned when they get to play a small sided game of soccer. You will be amazed at the difference between week 1 and week 8!!

Typical Session Schedule will be:

5-10 minutes- Group Skill – Both teams, Players & Parent (or Adult) will participate together.
20 minutes- Team Training Activities and Games- Parent participation.
5-10 minutes- Team organizing and water break - Each team will divide into 2 smaller teams and play in two separate matches.
20-25 minutes- 3 v 3 Game- During the game, Coach and Asst. Coach or a parent from each team will act as the game supervisors, their job is to keep the game going, cheer positively and refrain from "coaching" (giving directions). This is the time for the kids to play – LET THEM PLAY!
